Some Kenyan lawmakers, including Peter Salasya, have responded following this widespread campaign. Peter complained about this campaign on Instagram, claiming he barely slept due to his phone’s continuing vibration, owing to the bombardment of messages and calls.
He also asked who shared his number on X. Everybody is texting and calling his number on WhatsApp across Kenya. He could not sleep as his phone was vibrating throughout the night.
Peter also said Kenyans would shave his beard if he voted for Finance Bill 2024. He laughed and said Kenyans have mobilized to teach us a lesson the hard way for the first time. Keeping it in consideration, he vowed to reject Fiance Bill 2024.
Meanwhile, Migori Woman Representative Fatuma Zainab has also vowed to reject this bill. She also confirmed she received a large number of messages.

However, Finance Bill 2024 has yet to be approved by Kenyan lawmakers. Hence, Kenyans are urging MPs to reject its implementation.
